This started my interest in the breed but then only as pets. Our first Dane was a black bitch bought from Nellie Ennals. We continued over the years with the breed as pets until we went along to Markrich Kennels to collect a fawn puppy dog, Markrich Major in 1990. I was persuaded into taking him along to ring craft training and then to our first show. We had some success with him over the years. As the years went by we became more involved and in 1995 we registered our affix EMANEAZ. Our first litter came out of a brindle from Sue Bishton in 1999 and my interest in brindles was started. We have had 4 litters to date, brindle being my passion, but I love all colours with equal enthusiasm. I started to judge in 2001 and find it very satisfying. I have been on all the courses required to judge to increase my knowledge of the breed. My aspiration was to produce a champion brindle but sadly it was not to be. I would love my last show Dane to be a harli boy. All of my achievements have been made possible with the help and support of my wife, Elaine, who shares my passion for Danes. Mr Dave Weller I started judging in 1983, having owned and or bred champions in Briards, Rough Collies and Shelties. I award CCs in 5 breeds in the Pastoral Group and have been passed for a Championship Show Group in 2014. A3 list Smooth Collies, CCs in 2015, and Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. B list for several more. In the Working Group award CCs in Leonbergers, very close to A3 in Bullmastiffs, including a club show, B+ Boxers 376 dogs with a club show, Bernese Mountain.Dogs 99 with a club show. Judged Great Danes since 1988-89 dogs. Although not listed for Dobermanns 76 dogs, Newfoundlands 71 and Rottweilers 99. My interest is in these 2 Groups. My judging has taken me abroad and I have awarded CACIBs and CACs in 9 different countries.
What is a Back to Back show? Both The Great Dane Club and the Great Dane Breeders & Owners Association will be running their own Open Shows but they will both be held at the same venue in the same hall. This means that you can attend both shows but only pay one lot of travelling expenses. How will the show be run? Both clubs have worked hard together to arrange the show so that you can get the best out of each of the shows and not miss any classes. There will be two rings. The Great Dane club will start with bitches and The Great Dane Breeders & Owners Association will start with Dogs. After each club has finished its first sex both clubs will then run their respective stakes classes. After the completion of the stakes classes The Great Dane Club will then continue on to Dogs and The Great Dane Breeders & Owners Association will start with their Bitch entry. How do I enter both shows? Simply complete each club s entry form in the normal way and send it to the addresses shown on each of the entry forms with your payment made payable to each respective club. Kennel Club rules mean that we cannot combine the entry and payment process for you so please ensure that you send the relevant from to the right show manager. Do I need two catalogues? Unfortunately you will need to purchase one for each show, i.e. one for The Great Dane Club and one for the Great Dane Breeders & Owners Association. This is a directive from the Kennel Club although we are working on this with them and hope that at some point in future we may be able to combine it.

When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.

Keep the dog in the shade - take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water to drink so your dog stays well hydrated. Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog s welfare.
